Example Connection for a DVD/LD or LD Player
Since some LDs have soundtracks recorded on the special 2 RF format you need to make special hook ups to ensure
you can play all LDs on your system. If you don't have an LD (or an LD player with your DVD player) you don't need
to worry about this. For the VSX-D710S/D810S/D850S hook up your DVD/LD or LD player directly and make sure
you make both a 2 RF output and either a coaxial or optical digital connection. Of course you must hook up your
DVD/LD or LD player with standard (coaxial or optical) digital connections but if you are able to hook up your player
with a 2 RF output (if your player has one) this will ensure you can use all LDs available. We also recommend
hooking up your digital components to analog audio jacks as well.
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC wall
outlet. The diagram is for the VSX-D850S but hook up an RF Demodualtor to the VSX-D710S in the same manner.

MEMO:
Be sure to make either a digital coaxial or digital optical connection as well, but you don't need to make both. Make
sure the RF demodulator digital in switch is set correctly (optical or coaxial depending on the connection). See the
component's instruction manual if you are unsure about its input and output jacks.
The arrows indicate the direction of the audio signal.
